Bio

Cybersecurity is not just my profession, it’s my passion, shaped by a 28‑plus‑year journey in the field. I’ve progressed from hands‑on practitioner to Global CISO for one of the world’s largest construction and development companies, unifying fragmented cyber efforts into a cohesive, risk‑driven global program. I’ve modernized detection, response, and vulnerability management while aligning with emerging regulations like NIS2. Beyond Skanska, I helped establish a construction ISAC, raising collaboration across an underserved global construction industry.

Success Story

As Global CISO, I transformed Skanska’s fragmented cybersecurity landscape into a unified, high‑performing global program. By standardizing governance and modernizing operations, we achieved a 110x improvement in incident detection and response speed, dramatically reducing operational disruption and risk exposure. I embedded ISO‑aligned risk management to address emerging regulations like NIS2 while elevating enterprise‑wide accountability with cybersecurity is now seen as a revenue enabler. Beyond Skanska, I’m proud to have helped establish a construction‑focused ISAC, creating a “better together” community that shares cyber threats, insights, and best practices to level up cybersecurity resilience across an historically underserved global construction value chain.
